Short Ton-Force
Short ton-force represents the force exerted by the weight of a short ton (2,000 pounds) under standard gravity. It is used primarily in the United States to describe large forces in engineering, construction, and mechanics.
Poundals
A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to about 0.138 newtons. It is used in some engineering and physics applications to measure force in non-SI units.
